From this talk, you will learn about Clojars, a critical piece of infrastructure for the Clojure community. You'll learn specifically about:

• the infrastructure that the Clojars system uses
• the history of Clojars (how did we get here?)
• some statistics about how the Clojars repository has grown over the years (both in usage and deployed libraries)
• recent security improvements to reduce the risk of supply-chain attacks
• some best practices to help defend against potential supply-chain attacks as a library consumer
